    Kittens with URI
    I have two kittens, around two weeks old. Both was to vet last Thurs. and he said they have eye infections, gave them and me eye drops and gave them each a antibiotic shot and said to bring them back Sat. I think both kittens have URI as they were abandoned. And one is really weak and will not eat. I have force fed him with a dropper every two hours but cannot get much into him. I also put him in the bathroom for steam and it helped very little. My question is; should I continue to force feed him and if steam helps, how often? He is gasping for air but he is not lifeless yet. The vets here in Germany are not as advanced as in the states. Is he suffering? Please help me! Thank you so very much, Linda

    Should I force feed a very sick two week old kitten who I think has URI. I force fed him all day but am not getting much in him. When he gasps for air is he in pain or suffering? Is the bath steam good idea? If so, how often? He is very weak but not lifeless yet
